Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved method for producing an SOI wafer.
- SOI Silicon-on-Insulator
- a method for producing SOI wafers is the subject of European patent application no. 98830007.5 filed on 13.1.98 for the same applicant, and is described hereinafter with reference to figures 1-9 .
- a first silicon oxide layer is grown, having a thickness for example comprised between 200 and 600 ⁇ ; a first silicon nitride layer having a thickness comprised between 900 and 1500 ⁇ is then deposited.
- a resist mask dry etching is carried out of the uncovered portions of the first oxide layer and the first nitride layer, and the resist mask is then removed, providing the intermediate structure of figure 1 , wherein the wafer thus obtained is shown at 1, and the portions of the first oxide layer and the first nitride layer remained after dry etching, are indicated at 4 and 5 and define respective first protective regions 7, covering first portions 8' of monocrystalline silicon region 2.
- the first protective regions 7 form a hard mask, indicated at 9 and used to etch the monocrystalline silicon region 2 at the second portions 8'' left uncovered by the mask 9, such as to form initial trenches 10 ( figure 2 ), having a depth comprised between 0.5 and 5 ⁇ m, depending on the desired characteristics of the buried oxide layer to be produced.
- the wafer 1 is subjected to oxidation, to form a second oxide layer 11, having a thickness, e.g. comprised between 200 and 600 ⁇ , and covering the lateral and base walls 10a, 10b of the initial trenches 10, and a second silicon nitride layer 12 having a thickness comprised between 900 and 1500 ⁇ is then deposited.
- a second oxide layer 11 having a thickness, e.g. comprised between 200 and 600 ⁇
- a second silicon nitride layer 12 having a thickness comprised between 900 and 1500 ⁇ is then deposited.
- layers 12 and 11 are anisotropically etched without mask. Owing to the etching anisotropy, the horizontal portions of the second silicon nitride layer 12 and the oxide layer 11, on the base walls 10b of the initial trenches 10 and on the portions 4 and 5, are removed, thus providing the intermediate structure of figure 4 , wherein regions 8' are still covered on top by the mask 9, and laterally (on the vertical walls 10a) by oxide and nitride portions 11' and 12'; on the other hand, the monocrystalline silicon region 2 is bare on the base wall 10b of the initial trenches 10.
- the uncovered silicon, at the base wall 10b of the initial trenches 10 is etched, to deepen the initial trenches 10, obtaining final trenches 16 having a required depth.
- the depth of the final trenches 16 determines the dimensions of the desired covered oxide layer, and thus the electrical characteristics of the SOI wafer, as explained hereinafter, and is thus selected according to the specifications provided for the final SOI wafer.
- the monocrystalline silicon region now comprises a base portion shown at 2', and a plurality of "columns" 18, extending vertically from the base portion 2'.
- the intermediate structure of figure 5 is obtained, wherein the nitride portions 5 and 12' are no longer separate from each other, and are indicated at 19, and the oxide portions 4 and 11' are also no longer separate from each other, and are indicated at 20 and, with the portions 19, form second protective regions 30.
- a thermal oxidation step is then carried out, thereby the exposed silicon regions of the "columns" 18 are transformed into silicon oxide.
- the oxide regions gradually grow from the silicon regions, from the lateral walls of the final trenches 16 towards the interior of the columns, and partially also towards and inside the base portion 2'. Since during the oxidation the volume increases, the oxide regions that are being formed gradually, occupy the space of the final trenches 16, until they close the latter completely, and are joined to one another.
- the oxidation step ends automatically once the columns 18 have been completely oxidised (apart from the upper area or tip, indicated at 21, which is protected by the second protective regions 30), thus forming a continuous buried oxide region 22, shown in figure 6 , wherein continuous vertical lines show meeting surfaces of the oxide regions being formed from walls of two final adjacent trenches 16, showing the oxide expansion.
- the second protective regions 30 are removed and uncover the "tips" 21, which are designed to form the nuclei for a subsequent epitaxial growth.
- the structure of figure 7 is obtained, showing the three-dimensional structure of the wafer 1 in this step.
- epitaxial growth is carried out, the parameters whereof being selected to avoid silicon nucleation in the areas above the buried oxide region 22, and to have a high ratio of lateral to vertical growth, to obtain first horizontal growth of silicon around the tips 21 (thus covering the upper surface of the buried oxide region 22), and then vertical growth of an epitaxial layer 23.
- the final structure of the wafer 1, shown in figure 8 is then obtained.
- the above-described production method has the disadvantage that during the step of non-masked anisotropic etching, there are uncovered oxide portions, which, during the subsequent epitaxial step, produce extensive areas rich in crystallographic defects.
- the second oxide layer grows, inter alia, towards the interior of the initial trench 10, forming steps 39. Consequently, when subsequently depositing the second silicon nitride layer 12, the latter follows the inner profile of the lateral walls of the initial trenches 10, and thus in turn forms a pair of steps 40 in each initial trench 10.
- steps 39, 40 means that in the subsequent step of non-masked anisotropic etching of the layers 12 and 11, not only the horizontal portions of the second silicon nitride 12 and oxide 11 layers are removed on the base of the initial trenches 10, and above the portions 4 and 5, but also the portions of the second silicon nitride layer 12 which form the steps 40, thus leaving uncovered the portions of the second oxide layer 11' defining the steps 39, as illustrated in figure 10 .
- oxide areas 41 ( figure 11 ). These oxide areas 41 cause the formation, in the subsequent epitaxial growth, of extensive areas rich in crystallographic defects in the epitaxial layer 23, which areas are delimited by broken lines in figure 12 .
- D1 teaches a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit comprising circuit elements formed in dielectrically isolated semiconductor islands.
- D1 discloses different embodiments wherein rhomboidal shaped trenches are filled by polysilicon or oxide and the resulting insulating regions are overlaid by discontinuous epitaxial regions. The trenches are selectively etched. In another embodiment, the trenches are etched in a two-step process and filled using a thermal process that causes the formation of a single buried oxide. The protected silicon portions give rise to silicon islands which are insulated from each other.
- the object of the present invention is thus to improve the above-described method, so as to eliminate the crystallographic defects present in the epitaxial layer, and to obtain improvement of the electrical characteristics of the SOI wafer.
- the invention is based on the principle of having the oxidation step, leading to the formation of the second oxide layer 11, preceded by a step of removal of surface regions of the lateral walls 10a of the initial trenches 10, so that the trenches thus widened extend partially below the protective regions 7, and thus prevent the formation of the steps 39.
- the surface regions of the lateral walls 10a are removed through a thermal oxidation step for forming a sacrificial oxide layer, covering the lateral walls 10a and the base wall 10b of the initial trenches 10; then the sacrificial oxide layer are wet etched, preferably using hydrofluoric acid, to completely remove the sacrificial oxide layer.
- the oxidation for forming the sacrificial oxide layer is preferably prolonged so that the sacrificial oxide layer is much thicker than the oxide layer 11, and in particular has a thickness comprised between 2000 and 4000 ⁇ .
- the oxide Since during the thermal oxidation step, the oxide is grown both towards the interior of the initial trenches 10, and towards the interior of the first portions 8' of the monocrystalline silicon regions 2 (which are partially “consumed” by the oxide formed), the sacrificial oxide layer penetrates the first portions 8', below the first protective regions 7, in a far more accentuated manner than for the oxide layer 11, thus forming the intermediate structure of figure 13 , wherein the sacrificial oxide layer is indicated at 14.
- the sacrificial oxide layer 14 is then completely removed, and the ends of the oxide portions 4 are also removed, thus providing the intermediate structure illustrated in figure 14 .
- the wafer 1 is oxidized, for forming the second oxide layer 11 covering the lateral walls 10a' and the base wall 10b' of the intermediate trenches 10' ( figure 15 ), and the second silicon nitride layer 12 is then deposited; thereby, the intermediate structure shown in figure 16 is obtained.
- the described method produces an epitaxial layer 23 without crystallographic defects, and thus SOI wafers having far better electrical characteristics than the SOI substrate described in the above-described patent application, with far lower costs than with the currently used methods for producing such substrates.
- the improvement in the final electrical characteristics is obtained without using additional masks, through simple oxidation and wet etching steps, and thus with low costs and in a well-controllable way, since the used steps are typical and well-known in the production of integrated circuits.
- TEOS tetraethylorthosilicate
- a TEOS oxide layer having a thickness comprised, e.g., between 5000 and 7000 ⁇ , and preferably 6000 ⁇ , subsequently defined with the first nitride layer 5, and with the first oxide layer 4, to form the hard mask 9, for better protecting the first portions 8' of the monocrystalline silicon region 2 during the various processing steps of the wafer 1.
